CONNECTING THE DOTS

What All Presidential Candidates Refuse to Talk About

Last Friday, Ann Curry, on NBC Nightly News, reported
that drought-stricken Georgia's Lake Lanier, that provides water for five
million people, will not last more than 79 more days at current water
consumption. "What does Lake Lanier
need?" she asked the reporter standing by the lake. "Lots of rain…about four months of rain," the
reporter said.

If Georgia stands in the cross-hairs of a water
crisis today at 9,363,000 people, what will be its fate be by 2050 – when its
predicted population reaches 16,966,000 people?

It's the Runaway Overpopulation

What factor facing the United States stands immune
from public, political and religious discussion? Short answer: runaway overpopulation – as we add more
than three million people to the USA annually!

With signs pointing to horrific future consequences,
our presidential leaders, citizens and religious elite continue on a path of
population growth without responsibility, without limits and without end. They continue in denial, refutation and
negation.

Let's see where that path leads us.

Worldwatch Institute, September 13, 2007
reported: ·Consumption of energy – and
many other critical resources – is consistently breaking records, disrupting the
climate and undermining life on the planet, according to the latest WorldWatch
Institute report, Vital Signs 2007-2008.

The 44 trends tracked in Vital Signs illustrate the
urgent need to check consumption of energy and other resources that are
contributing to the climate crisis.

According to Erik Assadourian, Vital Signs Project
Director, "The world is running out of time to head off catastrophic climate
change, and it is essential that Europe and the rest of the international
community bring pressure to bear on U.S. policy makers to address the crisis."

This summer, the European Union became a showcase for
environmental devastation including tragic fires in Greece and the Canary
Islands, dramatic floods in England and heat waves across the Continent.

With a global population of 6.7 billion – and
growing by 77 million annually – humanity degrades every ecosystem beyond its
capacity to sustain life:

In 2006, the world used 3.9 billion tons of oil. World oil consumption burns 84 million
barrels daily. Fossil fuel usage in 2005
produced 7.6 billion tons of carbon emissions, and atmospheric concentrations of
carbon dioxide reached 380 parts per million.

More wood was removed from forests in 2005 than ever
before.

Steel production grew 10 percent to a record 1.24
billion tons in 2006, while primary aluminum output increased to a record 33
million tons.

Meat production hit a record 276 million tons (43 kg
per person) in 2006. Meat consumption is one of several factors driving
soybean demand.

Rapid South American
expansion of soybean plantations could displace 22 million hectares of tropical
forest and savanna in the next 20 years.

The rise in global seafood consumption comes even as
many fish species become scarcer. The warming climate is undermining biodiversity by
accelerating habitat loss, altering the timing of animal migrations and plant
flowerings, and shifting some species towards the poles and to higher altitudes.

The oceans have absorbed about half of the carbon
dioxide emitted by humans in the last 200 years.

2,500 plants and animals in the continental United
States suffer extinction every decade via habitat loss from human expansion.

Despite a relatively calm hurricane season in the
U.S. in 2006, the world experienced more weather-related disasters than in any
of the previous three years. Nearly 100
million people were affected.

"The only hope for reducing the world's carbon
emissions is for the U.S. to begin reducing its emissions and cooperating with
other nations immediately," said Assadourian.

Earlier this year, Bush promised to decrease oil
consumption by 20 percent in the United States within ten years. "We'll reduce oil consumption by use of hybrid
cars, conservation and ethanol," he said.

We don't have a U.S. Immigration Strategic
Plan

He failed to mention that via endless, unrelenting
immigration, the U.S. expects to add 30 million people by 2017.

Most
Americans fail to realize this nation will add 100 million people within 35
years. While the U.S. Census Bureau
tells us our population is now "only 302 million," Vanderbilt University is
telling us that number is really 333 million today. Would our government lie to us? What does all of that mean?

It means "full speed ahead" – just like the Titanic. Everything we're doing proves to be
window dressing, cotton candy and pointless – unless we deal with population
stability.

Population stability is an urgent need

What should our presidential candidates, religious
leaders and average citizens be promoting?

We must implement a National
Population Policy – whereby we balance our population to fit our
carrying capacity so that every American today and 100 years from now enjoys a
quality of life and reasonable standard of living while living in a sustainable
and viable civilization.

We must address a National Carrying
Capacity Policy – whereby we define how many people can live in each
state with enough water, land and food.

We need a National
Environmental Impact Policy – whereby animals and plants maintain
their habitat in order to co-exist with humanity in a balance.

We need a National Water
Policy – whereby our human numbers remain in balance with available
water supplies so a crisis like Lake Lanier in Georgia can't occur.

We must promote an International
Population and Family Planning Policy to help overloaded nations come
to terms with and move toward stable populations. This would prevent massive,
unrelenting and unending immigration toward viable countries.

Why an international program?

For example, Bangladesh suffers 144 million people in
a landmass less than the size of Iowa. They expect to double to 290 million people in
35 years! That's like shoving all but 10
million of America's 300 million into Iowa! No wonder they flee their countries by the
millions – and run to Europe and the United States!

Once we add 100 million people to the USA, nothing
will save us from our consequences.

Our quality of life, standard of living, freedom,
fresh air, open spaces, cities, wildlife and every aspect of our children's
lives will degraded as our numbers increase. This population crisis proves the number one
issue facing us in the 21st century, but our leaders deny, hide from, pretend
and run away from it like the plague.

Unfortunately, if we don't quickly deal with growth
policy; rampant immigration will deal with us— rather
brutally.
